> I have a client who is purchasing assets from a company (which holds
> mainly mortgages but other assets as well).  It appears from Section
> 7A(c)(2) that these mortgages would be exempt and not included in the
> calculation of total assets for filing purposes.  I'm not sure if I'm
> reading Section 18(a) right.  Can we exclude the mortgages for filing
> purposes?  Is there any authority or secondary sources addressing this
> issue?

> Thanks in advance for your help.
